64-year-old bicyclist dies after being struck by a vehicle Sunday

A bicyclist from Green Oaks who was hit by a vehicle near Libertyville Sunday morning has died, authorities said Monday.

The 64-year-old woman was struck by an SUV about 11:30 a.m. Sunday in the area of St. Marys Road and Terre Drive. Authorities called to the area found the woman with serious injuries, according to Lake County sheriff's Deputy Chief Christopher Covelli.

The woman was taken to Advocate Condell Medical Center in Libertyville and had been listed in critical condition. Covelli said in an update Monday afternoon said that the woman had died. An autopsy is being scheduled by the Lake County coroner's office.

A preliminary investigation shows a 2005 Toyota 4Runner, driven by an 81-year-old Libertyville man, was traveling south on St. Marys Road when the cyclist crossed directly into its path, Covelli said.

The driver, who was not injured, was unable to stop in time, Covelli said.

The crash remains under investigation.
